one representative who was in the caucus
who is against Reagan, first, last, and all
the time"
"How many were PRESENT."
"There were thirteen declared Reag an
men. There were really fifteen present
and the one who reported the
the ardent too freely and
saw double. Hurrah tactics will be the
order of the day with one of the candi-
dates, and 1--WE gather them in" will be
the battle cry, But the members of this
legislature are not to be caught with chaff,
and the man who gets the majority of the
votes for senator will have to have some
thing more than fine physique and
sunny smile. At least that is the impress
sion. The whippers in are try
ing to get in their work, but they are fail
ing, in many cases, to their great surprise.
1t is useless to attempt to figure on the
result at this distance, as changes are oc-
curing every hour"
Judge Reagan did not arrive last
night.
The Reaganites were sore last night
because of the non-arrival of their chief.
Col. j. G. Carr, of Midland, is prom
inent candidate for sergeant-at-arms of
the house.
There are a dozen prominent Knights
of Labor on hand. And yet they decry
"looking on" at a legislature.
Maxey men yesterday claimed they had
fourteen votes in tho senate, and the Rea-
gan fellows, not to be outdone, said they
would poll forty two votes on the first
ballot.
Mr.. T. d. Powell, of Marion county,
most excellent gentleman, is candi-
date for postmaster of the house. Mr..
Powell was yesterday made temporary
postmaster, and is in charge.
J.P. S. Thompson, of Grimes county,
is contestant for the seat now held by
II. A. P. Bossitt, of that county. Mr..
Thompson says he was declared beaten by
forty five votes, and that he comes to
prove sixty-fve fraudulent votes.
Pools were sold at the Crystal saloon
last night. on the senatorial race. The
first pool stood Ireland $40, Maxey SIS,
Reagan 81, and the field $225. Other
pools ran along for awhile on about the
same string, there being very few buyers
and those who were there being directly
interested in the Ireland boom. Cortissoz
says he is going to sell every night from
now until the close of the ballot, so the
boys can get their wads ready, and go in
to gamble straight on their favorites.
Speaker Pendleton, it was announced
yesterday, declared his intention to APP
point the committee on privileges and
elections this morning. The announce
ment created quite breeze, as such
proceeding would be decided innovation,
and the Maxey and Reagan men were
not slack in saying it was in
the interest of the four contestants, all of
whom are Ireland men. Heretofore, all
the committees have been announced at
the same time and some days after the
meeting of the house. Mr.. Pendleton dis
covered last mig 1t, it is said, that he would
raise storm if he adhered to his deter
mination, and he concluded to aban
don it.

At precisely ~ o'clock Lieutenant Gov
